CatTools provides a facility to create your own custom device type and script files should your device not be supported by one of the pre-defined device types.

Pre-requisites

A reasonable understanding or experience of Visual Basic Scripting is assumed in order to successfully add custom scripts to CatTools.

However, the help file documentation and comments within the example code template files found in the /Templates sub folder of the CatTools root directory, should provide a reasonable level of assistance for a technically competant novice to follow.

The device script file also contains function calls and references to variables within the internal CatTools program code. These are prefixed with 'cl.' A list of these cl. functions and variables have also been made available within this chapter to help assist in the development of your custom device script.
